Phil Mickelson OUT of US Open: American misses tournament for daughter's graduation

Mickelson had been scheduled to tee off at 2.20pm local time – 8.20pm in the UK – but told organisers he would not miss his daughter’s high school graduation in San Diego.

The ceremony is scheduled for 10am in California (noon in Erin Hills) meaning the American was always likely to be cutting it fine, given the flight from San Diego is more than three hours.

“The way it would work, is he really doesn’t have to notify us really until the last minute,” USGA chief Mike Davis said yesterday.

“I’m sure if he plans on not coming he will give us plenty of notice.”
